    This house manifests the ideas I’ve had for the past 2 years. Hillside facing south, solar/hydro powered. Best, most efficient way to live comfortably and peacefully. Bravo!

      North, they're in the southern hemisphere so houses have to face north for solar gain.

    You just have to be 90th+ percentile to be able to afford this. No biggie. Very practical and realistic.

    Thank you for the documentary. These homeowners have done a great job with showing that living off grid doesn't have to be like camping anymore.

    This is one if the best implemented off-grid homes I have ever seen. Earthship, tiny home or whatever.... they have found a balance and are riding that line nearly perfectly. Keep it going!

    Absolutely spectacular. Using Mother Nature to provide your needs. I love the hydro pump to help provide your energy needs. The place is definitely a forever home that you would never want to leave.

    What can one say, the house is stunning and beautiful, self sufficient is a big bonus . Your philosophy is simple and a model for others to follow should they choose. Hopefully your willing to show the way to other that would be so willing. Please take care of yourself in this present climate there will be a need for people like yourselves in the times ahead. Thanks for sharing regards Paul from London UK

      You just need a couple hundred thousands of dollars for the land and a couple hundred thousands of dollars more for the construction. Easy!

      @john_dren Před 4 lety +2

      The question is, would mother Earth have enough ressources for all people to have this sort of lifestyle ? After it is built, it seems functional indeed, but what about the initial very large amount of ressources that it would require ? I do not know, just wondering

    For people asking WHY DO THEY HAVE A BUNKER?
    She mentioned the 1967 Tasmania bushfires, so that is why they're precautionary and they have built their "bushfire bunker" so that they still have a place to stay but can also be around to protect and save the house, if they can.
